    Brendan,





    Nice job on the Pileated WP, very sharp and well exposed. I would wish for a slightly better head angle and that part of the bird wasn't obscured by the broken off branch. To get a perfect shot of one of these is a goal of mine. We have them around where I live but they are very skittish. They seem to be constantly on the move. No way can you stalk one and, at least for me, they do not come to a feeder regularly. They do, on occasion, respond to calls. So far I have only managed distant shots in poor light.

    That's funny you said that, b/c that's EXACTLY what I did! I chased it through a forest for 10 minutes. Every time I approached, it would fly away but would still stay in sight, never flying far. But I do agree, they're skittish for sure.

    I have them around here too, but fortunatelly I have a very long lens is a can fill up the frame if I want. I also have a3X extender if I need it.But I'll have to get a camera first, pretty soom I'll get one. Then me and Nate will dominate this thread...[]

    Chears,


    John.


    Sounds like a challenge to me John! Too bad I don't have a long lens nor a good birding-camera so I won't take you on, but if I had...I would really consider this to be a challenge and to outperform you [A] Those are some risky words coming from your mouth (I censored Nate, because I don't know if he's with you on this one [])


    Btw...if you pay some attention, there is more competition for you on this thread than you probably want to challenge...[:P] but be my guest[Y]

    I do know that there are some very good birders on this forum, but I consider Nate the best.


    I was only joking about being the best bird nut on this forum, but it would be a fun chalenge to try and out do each other. Ooh, mabye not!


    BTW, I have only one month of experiance in bird photography. My camera broke and I haven't had a camera since. But as I said I will get one soon.


    John.

    Me too John, your risky words made me do it [A] If you would win an assignment, perhaps you could create your own? Beat my photo and make the best photo of a house-sparrow or something? That would be a fun challenge, I would even try []

    One of the best I agree. I think what makes his work stand out so much is that he photographs birds in their natural setting instead of feeders etc. A photo of a lion is sooner to be loved than a photo of a house-cat [] But I see a lot more potential and skill on this thread. (And none of it is mine, since I really haven't got the concentration to wait for these kind of shots[:P] not my cup of tea, I love watching it though)


    Anyway, will be looking forward for more photos (perhaps from your new camera sometime) and I will stop getting of topic here [8-|]

    Very nice shots Brendan. I think you are mistaken about your "tree swallow". Tree swallows ( Tachycineta Bicolor) have a pure white breast in both immature and adult and both sexes. I think that if you do your research you will find that this bird is a Eastern Phoebe ( Sayornis Phoebe) which does have some mottling at the top of the breast between the shoulders or the wing base.

    Man, I thought the challenge was up for real! I went ahead and ordered the 800 f/5.6L IS...what I'm going to do with it now....I guess I'll just keep it.


    BTW I'm not the best, I'm just lucky to have a lot of opportunity around where I live.
